Swear it’s only right that I
Hold the toast just for my protection
Need the Holy Ghost ’til the resurrection
But I still might beckon angels
My complexion to swoop down
Your direction and make your connection to me
Just a bit stronger
I know it’s wrong to sit back and conjure
A million ways for you to heal the monster
That has been postured inside my loins
Yeah, boing
That’s what it do when I see you
I know you see through me
And I ain’t see through
But you never treat me like I am fecal matter
Wow, had to smile
I know I ain’t spoke to you like this awhile
I know you cried me a river like the Nile
But hell, I got baptized in it and came out
So, so, so, so much better
Know I could never try to measure the weight of your glory
But sometimes, with you, it’s like my head’s in the pool
And my eyelids have opened
Chlorine, that ho can burn
But in return
All I discern is to be different
One has to unlearn
And just be
